Trends Are Waves. Style Is Your Shore.

How not to lose yourself in the chaos of visual trends.

Sometimes I feel like we’re all floating in a sea of images. Everything’s fast. Bright. Perfect. Today it’s one color palette, tomorrow it’s another. Today it’s grain and retro, tomorrow it’s 3D chrome and liquid textures. It’s not that I don’t like trends. I do. They can be beautiful, exciting, and even inspiring. But there’s something inside me that resists being carried away completely by them. A voice that whispers: if you follow the wave too far, you might forget where the shore is.

That shore, for me, is style. Not as a fixed formula, not as something rigid or branded. But as a part of me. Something I’ve built slowly, over time. I didn’t download it from Pinterest. I didn’t copy it from anyone. It came from my own path — from what I love, from what I feel, from what I want to say. It’s not always trendy. Sometimes it doesn’t get likes. But it’s mine.

I think there’s a danger in chasing every visual current that passes in front of your eyes. Because the more you adapt to the outside, the more you risk erasing the inside. And when the trends change — and they always change — what are you left with? A page with no signature. A beautiful image with no soul. Something that could have been made by anyone.

What matters, I believe, is not to close yourself off in a bubble, but not to let your essence be washed away either. You can ride the wave without letting it swallow you. You can take what inspires you, but leave behind what doesn’t feel true. Because in the end, your work is the only place where you can really be honest.

I’m an artist. I love what I do. I create because I feel something that needs to come out. And that doesn’t always fit into a trend. Sometimes it’s raw. Sometimes it’s weird. Sometimes it’s quiet when everything else is screaming. But that’s where I find meaning. That’s where I feel alive.

Trends can be a playground — and that’s fine. But don’t mistake the playground for the whole world. Don’t confuse the wave for the ocean. Go back to the shore sometimes. Breathe. Remember why you started. And when you create, do it with your feet in the sand of your own truth.
